It’s a tough job market for recent graduates, but a McGill education gives students an edge. “My time at McGill was foundation for getting the job I have today,” says Andrei Adam (BCom’24) a consultant with McKinsey & Company in Toronto. At Desautels, students have unlimited access to coaches and career support through the Soutar Career Centre. Adam relied on these career coaching services when he was a student, seeking guidance on potential employers and feedback on his resume. He landed an internship with McKinsey as a second-year student, and got a job offer in his third year.
